"When I moved to Danville, my plan was to stay here temporarily until I was able to start my master's degree at the UVa and then move to Charlottesville. I was planning to reluctantly sell my house and move to Charlottesville in early 2008, but thanks to the Institute for Advanced Learning and Research, I can continue to live in the community I love here in Danville and pursue my degree with UVa." |
Workshop - Energy Savings Using Lean Thinking
Besides
helping a company to increase customer satisfaction levels, decrease
manufacturing cost, and increase profitability levels, lean thinking is
also a philosophy that can help your company to drastically decrease
energy consumption, affecting not just the manufacturing cost, but also
contributing to protect the environment by decreasing the firm’s carbon
foot print. There are a variety of efforts by several organizations
that have created resources to help industries to save energy by
implementing lean projects.
This workshop will review those efforts by introducing the basic concepts of lean thinking, and how those concepts can be translated into practical applications so your firm might start looking at important energy consumption reductions in a short time. Also, the workshop will give information on special information technology platforms that you can use to monitor your energy consumption along with current efforts in the industry in energy savings.
